Necrotic festering is bubbling up within the RCMP. Its foul stench wafts from every part of the force. The infection is spreading: surgery and excision will be required.The affliction known as flesh-eating disease "..is a misnomer, as in truth, the bacteria do not 'eat' the tissue. They destroy the tissue that makes up the skin and muscle by releasing toxins.."RCMP Commissioner Paulson has to be removed, as soon as possible. The man is worse than gangrene; he spouts insincere platitudes and clichés in lieu of genuine commitment to change the toxic culture and behaviours that contaminate every aspect of the organization.Recently Paulson attended an event where he was invited

"to discuss national security in the wake of the Brussels bombing, and also what progress he was making on curtailing harassment and weeding out members who have sullied the force's reputation.
[..] he was asked by a member of the audience, when was the last time he had written a traffic ticket to anyone. Instead of answering the question, the commissioner went on a "bon mot" diversion.
He talked about speeding down B.C.'s Coquihalla Highway with some family members last year and being pulled over by an RCMP officer.
Paulson got some laughs when he mimicked the horrified reaction of the member who suddenly realized he had just pulled over the big boss; an officer who faced the unenviable decision of whether or not to lay a fine on him.
The tell though, came when the moderator said he wouldn't ask about the dollar value of the ticket. Paulson's expression went from a broad grin to 'oh-oh' in a flash as he seemed to realize he had stepped in it. [..]
Later, talking to reporters, he was clearly not pleased when the speeding incident came up.
At first, he said, "Aw, it was just a story I made up." Pressed further he changed course, saying, "No, I don't want to talk about that. I do not want to talk about that."

Paulson's casual Catskills routine is offensive, in light of the most recent developments and disclosures in the matter of interminable sexual harassment within RCMP ranks.

The harassment, [Linda Davidson] alleges in court papers, took many forms: unwanted grabbing and kissing; crude jokes, including the placement of ketchup-stained tampons in her locker; and constant questioning about her sexual orientation and abilities.
“I experienced this treatment irrespective of my detachment, posting, rank or seniority,” she wrote in an affidavit. “I never felt that I could rely on senior officers to protect me.“
The Bracebridge, Ont., mother, who now runs a security firm, is the lead plaintiff in a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging systemic gender-based harassment and discrimination in the RCMP — the second such lawsuit to hit the force in recent years.

Last month, Cody Durocher was convicted of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Hay River, N.W.T. It was his third sexual assault conviction.

At that trial N.W.T. Supreme Court Justice Louise Charbonneau had some harsh words for the way that girl was treated after disclosing the incident to police, noting that instead of being taken to hospital, she was put in a jail cell for violating her probation, where she remained until the following evening.
Durocher, 31, was convicted of raping two women in different towns in northern Alberta in 2010. He pleaded guilty to the first after DNA evidence linked him to the attack. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Durocher was sentenced to three years for the second attack.
In court, the 13-year-old Hay River victim said Durocher sexually assaulted her on January 11, 2014.

actually the deal in B.C. is for 20 years, but you can bet it will be renewed as long as the b.c. lieberals run things in B.C.

The RCMP needs to get out of the policing large towns, such as Surrey. Any civic entity larger than 25K or 30K ought to have their own police force. The RCMP is trained for rural service and then dropped into urban settings. They need to establish a union just like all the other police forces in Canada.

The poor excuse Bill Fordy, who ran surrey's detachment just got a promotion from Poulson. You really have to wonder, given some of the "information/rumours" out there about Fordy.

Any organization which has 300 people involved in a class action lawsuit against one employer, we have a problem I would suggest at least the top 3 layers of management have to go./

It is beyond me how an organization which has as many sexual harassment complaints can act as a police force which has to deal with matters such as sexual assault, etc.
